Learning from previous mistakes while retaining all that was good about his second LP, this third dispatch from the heart of Pittsburgh adds a slurry and mush-mouthed style that sounds like the confident Miller is now so laid-back, the words leaving his mouth are quite tired from their uphill climb.

TheCDs range from Very Good to Good Condition with some light surface marks but these do not affect the audio quality. The artwork is in near Mint Condition. The De La Soul slipcase is in Good Condition with light wear.

Released just as summer 2012 became official, Maybach Music Group Presents Self Made, Vol. 2: The Untouchable Empire finds Rick Ross and his crew doing it big with a mixtape worth of thuggy club music, but there are some solid anchors here that go way deeper than expected.

Cross-genre collaborations don't always land as expected. When combining riffs and rhymes, there's a high risk that descriptors like "rap-rock" and even "nu-metal" will creep up to cloud objectivity, recalling ghosts from the late '90s.

GO:OD AM features "100 Grandkids," with an official video directed by Nick Walker. He also is a noted producer under the pseudonym Larry Fisherman. He released his debut album "Blue Slide Park" in November 2011.

A member of Gucci Mane’s So Icey camp, Waka Flocka Flame takes Plies’ slow goon drawl, mixes it with the wackiness of his posse boss Gucci, and then adds plenty of guttural utterances (“Waaaaaakaa! ,” “Flocka! ).

On his ninth studio album, Common reunites with old partner and fellow Chicagoan No I.D., which ensures that the sound will be much different than that of the MC's previous set, the Neptunes-dominated Universal Mind Control.

Less than a year after his Total Devastation greatest-hits compilation was released on Rhino, Warner decided to issue a second greatest-hits compilation with a few notable differences. Gone is the inclusion of his work in Leaders of the New School, and in its place is a smattering of remixes.

“Lotus Flower Bomb” is a laid-back throwback that could mix fine with any given Erykah Badu ballad, while “Illest B ” is the kind of stuff that puts hands up in the air, sounding soulful and all the way live as Wale testifies about the strong women in his life.

As a way to illustrate the sincerity implied in its title, The Divine Feminine begins and ends with the voices of women. Miller's producers are in accordance with all the lovestruck sentiments. They outfit the songs with twirling strings, punching horns, and lively pianos, the last of which is provided by Robert Glasper on the woozy, Kendrick Lamar-assisted "God Is Fair, Sexy, Nasty.".

Although the most salient attribute of hip-hop is the words, the production behind it is equally important. It turns rhymes into song, into something you can feel, something that moves you. And while Talib Kweli certainly has the lyrical aspect down, often his albums -- and to be fair, those of other so-called "conscious MCs" -- tend to suffer from a dearth of good beats.

Having torn it up on the first two volumes of Maybach Music's Self Made compilations, Philadelphia rapper and former Grand Hustle artist Meek Mill finally busts out on his own on Dreams and Nightmares, an apt title for an album that haphazardly bounces between the two.

By no means for innocent ears, the lyrics deals with hardness, violence, and drugs (though not necessarily in a supportive light). "Dealing with live facts and effects, not the study of dead material," as the interlude explains, this release is intended to represent the body of hip-hop culture.

Insiders and longtime fans will get the drift, while everyone else has the group's early albums for an intro, but solid, crossover appeal still comes in the form of the singles "Keep Watch" (a supreme, electro-powered Wu-Robot), "Ron O'Neal" (an organic, Roots-flavored funkster), and "Ruckus in B Minor" (a punchy history of the group with Rick Rubin adding some "99 Problems"-styled co-production).

Straight outta East London comes Ben "Plan B" Drew, strewing acclaim behind him -- the British Eminem, a rapping Arctic Monkeys, even Kurt Cobain has been invoked in his name. With the same gleaning eye for detail, a similar rage against a society which shuts him out, and an equal eloquence of rhyme, albeit expletive-laced on Plan B's account, he strips away England's polite facade to expose the ugliness at its core.
